Care Binder Privacy Policy
Effective October 29, 2026 ยท Published by The News Bakery LLC
Care Binder ("the app") is a care log for family caregivers. This policy explains what happens to the information you enter about yourself and the people you care for.
What the app stores
The app stores what you enter: the people you care for and their profiles, medications and doses, care log entries such as falls, sleep, behavior and vitals, doctor visits and questions, contacts, photos you add of papers, labels or falls, caregiver names, and your settings. All of it is saved only on your device, in the app's private storage.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not collect, receive or store any of your data. The app has no account, no sign-in, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it contains no third-party code that sends data anywhere. Nothing you enter is sent to us or to anyone else.
Cloud backups
The app keeps its data out of iCloud Backup and Android's automatic cloud backup, so your care notes are not copied to a cloud account by the app. To move to a new phone, you make a backup file yourself (see below).
When information leaves your device
Only when you choose to share it. A Visit Summary PDF, a handoff note, a CSV export or a backup file is made on your device and goes only where you send it with your phone's share sheet, for example to a printer, an email, a text message or your files. Once you send it, the app or service you chose handles it under its own terms.
Permissions
The app asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it: notifications for reminders you turn on, the camera or photos when you add a photo, and Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or your passcode when you turn on the app lock. The app never sees your fingerprint, face or passcode; your phone checks them and tells the app only whether it worked.
Purchases
The app is free to try for 7 days, then one in-app purchase unlocks it. Apple or Google handles the payment under their own terms, and we never receive your payment details. The app only asks the store, on your device, whether the unlock or the free trial item was taken, and keeps that answer and the trial date on your device.
Reminders
Reminders are scheduled by your phone itself. No data is sent to a server to do this.
Deleting your data
You can delete any entry, medication, contact, paper or person in the app. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes everything. Backup files you saved yourself stay where you saved them until you delete them. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete.
Children
The app is meant for adults who look after a family member. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.
Not medical advice
The app is a record-keeping tool. It does not give medical advice, suggest doses or interpret symptoms. Always follow the prescriber's and pharmacist's instructions.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
